Poetry and Paean Series

Poetry and Paean Series Weapons

Poetry and Paean is a new 4-star weapon series coming in Version 2.0 of Wuthering Waves. The series will have a weapon for each weapon type so hoping the effects for the weapons are great!

It is still unknown if the weapons are obtainable from gacha or from any other methods, but we will update this page once we know more!

Call of the Abyss

Call of the Abyss Weapons

Call of the Abyss is a new 4-star Rectifier weapon that is confirmed to be a free weapon from the events in Version 2.0!

New Region: Rinascita

Rinascita is a New Region

Wuthering Waves - Rinascita New Region

Similar to Huanglong, Rinascita is the upcoming region that will be introduced in Version 2.0. Inside Rinascita is the city-state of Ragunna which functions a lot like Huanglong's Jinzhou City.

Rinascita Release Date and Information

Ragunna, Rinascita's City-State

Wuthering Waves - Ragunna City State

Rover's journey in Rinascita is confirmed to start in Ragunna, a city-state found in the Rinascita region. It is known to be a city of festivities with carnivals and celebrations filling the air. Think of this as Rinascita's Jinzhou.

Ragunna is also the central theme of one of the events in Version 1.4 called Ragunna Sales Blitz. The event aims to introduce players to the city-state and the region of Rinascita!

Ragunna Sales Blitz Event Guide

New Features

A plethora of new features and QOL changes are lined up for Version 2.0!

New Wing Gadget

Rinascita is confirmed to have a good balance of high mountains and low laying fields. With this in mind, Wuthering Waves has confirmed that all Rovers will have access to a new tool that will allow us to fly and glide in Rinascita!

Story Skip Function

It has been announced that Rovers do not need to finish the full story of Version 1.0 to access Rinascita. They only need to finish Chapter 1 Act 3 to access a new event that will take them straight to Rinascita!

Chapter 1 Act 3 Ominous Star Quest Guide

Early Access to Boss Challenges

Players are now able to access boss challenges early even without unlocking them in their locations in the map! This makes it easier for Rovers to build characters immediately without looking for the locations of the overworld bosses.

List of All Bosses

Rover Appearance Switching

From Version 2.0, players can now swap between the two Rover appearances available in the game!

Can You Change Genders?

Synthesis on the Go

From Version 2.0, players are now able to synthesize materials even without fast traveling to a Synthesizer!

List of Items

Material Conversion

Materials can now be converted into another material within its own category with the new Material Conversion feature! The conversion seems to have a 50% efficiency so converting 100 Howler Cores will give you 50 Whisperin Cores in return!

List of Development Materials

100% Map Exploration Rewards

Exploring maps and reaching a 100% exploration now gives you milestone rewards from Version 2.0! The rewards are also retroactive so if you have a 100% for all areas in Huanglong, you are in for a treat in Version 2.0!

Interactive Map and 100% Guide

Immersion Mode

Players toggle Immersion Mode after updating to Version 2.0! This mode removes all HUD elements for a more immersive playthrough of Wuthering Waves.

Archive of Melody

An Echo in Rinascita will also allow players to play their favorite Wuthering Waves music whenever they want! According to the developers, it will also be possible to change background music with this echo!
